These custom Orchard Street Dunks are best remembered for their infamous drop. In 2003, Greig Bennett, co-founder of the streetwear brand Orchard Street, coordinated a release of customized Brazil and St. John Dunks, which were placed across New York City. The only way to get a pair was to physically find them. The shoes were positioned on street lamps and traffic lights, and dedicated sneakerheads were committed enough to scale these heights in order to secure them.

Orchard Street modified 40 pairs of the Dunk Hi 'Brazil' into a custom colorway. Each shoe was reworked into orange, green and black. A portion of the rear flaps were carved out to let the orange pop and the tongue labels were reversed. 

Due to their incredibly limited quantities and the exclusive nature of their release, these are some of the most sought after custom Dunks in circulation. The pair is numbered 23/40 and includes a special Orchard Street box.
